Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa has launched the Bodu Huraa Tree Planting Project, a community-driven sustainability initiative designed to offset Scope 3 carbon emissions while deepening the Resort’s long-standing partnership with its neighbouring island, Bodu Huraa. The initiative aligns with the global Four Seasons For Good framework, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to environmental stewardship and local empowerment.
The first phase – completed on April 17, 2025 – saw the planting of 50 Casuarina trees along a 260-metre (850 foot) stretch of public land on Bodu Huraa, with a total of 100 trees set to be planted over the second quarter of the year. Conducted with the support and approval of the Bodu Huraa Island Council, the project brings together the Resort’s Green Team and Grounds & Landscaping department with members of the Bodu Huraa community in a shared act of contribution.
Chosen for their drought tolerance and hardiness in coastal conditions, the Casuarina trees will form a resilient greenbelt that enhances the local environment with minimal water needs – an intentional move that balances ecological benefit with practical care.
Beyond its environmental value, the Bodu Huraa Tree Planting Project signals a strategic step in the Resort’s approach to climate responsibility: focusing on hyper-local action that generates measurable impact while reinforcing inter-island relationships. It follows the successful 100-coconut-tree planting project at Kuda Huraa and marks a shift toward carbon offsetting strategies that prioritise community relevance and cross-generational benefit.
Our relationship with Bodu Huraa goes far beyond geography. This project is a reflection of our shared values, mutual respect, and commitment to nurturing the place we both call home – together. Didier Jardin, General Manager of Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa
As part of its broader environmental and social responsibility goals, the Resort will continue to explore localised solutions that contribute to climate action while strengthening the ties that bind land, people, and purpose.
